@JinxyMcDeath: Oh, and what people should really be asking Natalie Portmant is why she signed that Polanski petition. Maybe she was drunk and/or high that day? #angelinajolie
@kansasgirl: Wow. I guess you missed the point...which is me yearning for the day where it's legal to smoke weed...and thus, socially acceptable to do so. From that harsh response, I think you might profit from some weed yourself. #angelinajolie
@JinxyMcDeath: Sorry, I did miss your point. I don't think that legal = socially acceptable. FWIW, I think pot should be legal (but I don't think that will automatically make it socially acceptable). #angelinajolie
The more Stephanie Meyer quotes I read, the more she scares me.
Would it be presumptuous to assume Mr. Pattison ought also to be afraid, lest he wake up one morning (or afternoon) covered with sparkles and unable to get away?
"Leona Lewis has turned down a $1 million offer to pose for Playboy. "
Is this some sort of rite of passage or something? Every time I read Playboy has made that offer, the celeb in question has turned it down.
Even in a recession.
@Rooo sez BISH PLZ: It's a common media pr move for upcoming starlets. You say Playboy offered you an outlandish sum of money to pose but you denied it. It usually generates a minor news story, getting your name out there for a day or two. It also sets up that you must be OMG SO HOT and that you are far too classy and successful to need to pose for Playboy.
In this case, I have no idea who Leona Lewis is and yet I looked her up. So I guess she wins. #angelinajolie
@BowlingForDollars: Am I horrible for having chuckled out loud, with an undertone that could arguably have been described as malicious, after I read this? #angelinajolie
That is actually very polite of Vivid to ask her first. In my mind she has a tantrum at them and they accidentally release it with all the royalties going to a Vivid subset which isn't technically affiliated with Vivid and disappears when Prejean tries to sue it. Don't tantrum with porn companies.
@Snowbunny: I would say rather than being polite, it was just their standard way of drumming up more press. They have done that before. "Polite" and porn rarely go together!
@Snowbunny: I thought she was supposed to be 17 when all of this went down. That makes it pretty creepy to me. She's an idiot, but we do have laws. Even if she was 18, I think it's horrible and exploitative to release these images that were made for her boyfriend. She's hypocritical, but that doesn't mean that the world needs to see them. I just hope no one buys her book. #angelinajolie
@acookieaday: She wasn't 17, she was in her 20's. She tried to get her boyfriend to lie about her being 17 so they wouldn't get released. #angelinajolie
Big fail, Oprah audience. Haha, this mentally unstable man who beat his ex-wife, raped a woman, and bit a guy's ear off says he wants to punch his ex-wife! What a card!!! #angelinajolie
@Maritsa: I hope it was just a nervous chortle. It's not at all funny for a man that used to beat his ex to make a joke about wanting to beat his ex. #angelinajolie
@rd2uk: I have to hope (foolishly) that it's pronounced the way it's spelled. I think that if parents spell their kids names strangely, the name should be pronounced as it's spelled. But people don't do that. They really seem to believe that if you spell something funny, it's still the same name. And that's not necessarily the rule.
For example, Addisynne is not Addison, Serah is not Sarah (although it's darn close), Sha is not Shay, and Courtenay is not Courtney. #angelinajolie
@rd2uk: @elijabet: It might feel good to be a bit more generous about other people's naming traditions, eh? They're not always to your taste (or mine) but snidely proscribing them is fairly unpleasant behaviour, you know? #angelinajolie
@rd2uk: That's exactly how it sounds. I knew a type-A mother who named her daughter that (the better to stand out on college applications!) who jaw would tense up anytime you dared call her precious snowflake "Courtney". #angelinajolie
@GrabAnApple: I don't understand comments like this, insulting parents for the name they gave their children. If Courtenay is a different name than Courtney, why shouldn't she be annoyed every time someone mispronounced it? #angelinajolie
@rd2uk: Then I'll guess that never in your waspy life have you read The Nonesuch by Georgette Heyer. If you had, you would have realized that it included a character named Courtenay Underhill. Copyright 1962! #angelinajolie
@rd2uk: I'm pretty sure, Courtenay Semel, the daughter of a billionaire doesn't give a crap what anyone thinks about the spelling of her name. Judgey much? By the way, all names are made up, so spelling shouldn't matter, even if it's not to your "waspy taste." #angelinajolie
@rd2uk: I've seen a few names, but along with the names it's also a town in BC that I grew up close to so it's a pretty normal occurance for this canuck! #angelinajolie
@rd2uk: Courtenay is actually an extremely WASPy precursor to Courtney. It's not used much in "those circles" anymore, after "Courtney" became so popular and they didn't want to be associated with such a "low-brow" name . . . but at one point it was considered fairly posh. #angelinajolie
@NellMood: I guess it's one of those "you have to know" situations. Mispronouncing "Courtenay" and "Courtney" isn't all that hard to do, and all this woman had to do was say "Actually, it's Courtenay. We get that all the time" and move on. However, she'd usually unleash a tirade that was usually uneccesary. I'm not insulting her choice of names, but a sense of humor/understanding when mispronunciations happen wouldn't have hurt. I'm Kathleen and I've gotten "Katherine" and "Karen" so much I've learned to answer to those. #angelinajolie
@GrabAnApple: Sure, I understand that, and if she's launching into constant tirades that's extreme. I think the tone of your first comment just seemed mean-spirited- it seemed like you were insulting her for choosing an unusual name (precious snowflake?). Maybe I was misreading you. #angelinajolie
I don't get Mad Men, either. I watched the first four episodes and kept waiting for it to be amazing. Then I gave up. It is just not my bag.
I love Bob Dylan, but it is possible to use an iPod and play video games and still know what is going on in the world. You sound like a cranky old bastard, Bob. Which you are, so fair enough. I love you anyway.
@Mrs. Stephen Fry: I feel I should add that I don't need characters to be likable (see: Dexter), but I do need to give a shit what is happening to them. And as hard as I tried, I just didn't care about anyone on Mad Men. I wanted to like it. But I still thought it sucked.
@Mrs. Stephen Fry: Even though I'm talking to myself, I wanted to add that I love Nabokov's Lolita. Didn't see a parallel between it and Mad Men at all.
"Courteney Cox ran into Brad Pitt at a concert - you know, her best friend's ex-husband - and "chatted away" with him all night. Page Six seems to think this was evil of her."
-- I can't believe I am saying this, but I agree with Page Six.
Sure, be respectful & say hello. But don't go spending the night chatting to the guy.
